E be like set na only 1988 models of toyota na him dey una side.

E be like say you no read my very first sentence, the words in CAPITAL LETTERS bro.

Are there still market for Honda ? Toyota don take over long time ago

There is no basis of comparison however in my own opinion for Nigeria roads,take and stick to Toyota.

Why do politicians use Toyota/Lexus for their convoy?
Why do police/custom/military/boko haram use Toyota mostly?
Why local toying operators dont use Honda cars?

Answer these questions then you know which is more reliable between the two.
Both Honda/ Toyota are reliable and international brands

Just get 12 inch premier woofer, a Sony car audio,tiny JVC tweeters put it in any car,am sure your neighborhood will bow to the beats.

The truth is this....Toyota cars are too bland and not sophisticated, that's why people think it's strong.

In terms of engine and gearbox, you can't compare Toyota with Honda. Honda is stronger both in engine and gearbox.

Newbies go for Toyota but those who wants to enjoy their ride go for Honda.


Why do you think engines like water pumping machine, Generators, boat engines, etc. made by Honda are too expensive? There is a mark of quality in that name.


For those saying bow joints issue......you have it in 4 Runner, Tacoma, Sequoia, etc. Always buy OEM parts and you won't experience it.

Edited:
For those quoting me on Honda transmission. Always use Honda recommended oil - DW-1. Even the Chinese made DW-1 is not trusted. Stop using Abro, Visco 2000 etc. in your gearbox.

Bro, my Honda smokes once in a while. Especially if I use it for a long ride. Please shat do you think is the problem. Please help

Honda CRV Jeep

Toyota cars, u will not regret buying d car.

Maybe you've never had a ride of Toyota Venza from Lagos to Sokoto; that's why you're screaming, "Honda!"

I love both though. I appreciate Honda evil spirit, Honda crosstour, Honda EODC,Honda judgement day, Honda bullet and Honda bulldog.

If only Honda will work on her 'bolt' - that's all!

Original Equipment Manufacturer. Parts recommended by car makers

OK thanks. I buy my parts from 'strictly' Honda stores tho. Not from 'general' shops

lonelydora:


Honda transmission is delicate. Once you put "Abro" or non recommended transmission oil, you will ruin the tranny. Always use original DW-1.

I've not heard about DW-1 pls. What's it? And how much is a litre? I use EOD 2004

Olalekanbanky1:

DW-1 is the recommended transmission oil for Honda. A litre is 4,000 or 4,500 and you need 4 litres of it. Please do not put Abro or Visco 2000 or any other oil in your transmission.

There is a Chinese product of DW-1. If you stay in Lagos or Port Harcourt, i can direct you where to get the original.

This has been an age long debate over which of the two automakers produces better vehicles. Well, there is no straight answer to this but depending on what you are looking for, the following might help in addition to what others have said. I have used Toyota car and now Honda, here below are my opinion about the two:

1. Engine - Honda wins. Most Honda engines are stronger and more durable. A Toyota user is more likely to change the engine of the car before a Honda user if the two vehicles are properly maintained. However, this is not to say that Toyota engines are bad just that Honda edges it here.

2. Interior Design and Aesthetics - Again Honda wins. Honda vehicles are very beautify and alluring. They have fantastic dashboards with user friendly controls. Toyota on the other hand has very poor interior and bland dashboards with very few controls, mostly the most basics that will help you drive the car, use the AC. Compare Honda Civic 2006 and Toyota Corolla 2006. Also compare Honda Accord 2010 and Toyota Camry 2010. Another example, a 1996 Honda car has cruise control as default while a 2003 Toyota car does not even have a cruise control. Look at a Honda vehicle dashboard at night and the illumination will wow you as compared to most Toyota cars.

3. Automatic Transmission - Toyota wins. Most Toyota vehicles have a very rugged auto transmission that can last for a long time. The probability of a Honda user changing transmission or having transmission issues is higher than a Toyota user.

4. Durability - Toyota wins. Most Toyota vehicles are more durable and rugged than most Honda vehicles. Toyota vehicles are built to last longer without breaking down and the issues that could breakdown without prior notice are more in Honda. The probability of the vehicle breaking down is more with Honda vehicles. It doesn't mean Toyota cars don't breakdown but with Honda, it is more considering also the nature of roads in Nigeria. If you use Honda mostly places with good roads then you will NOT see this as an issue. Toyota vehicles are used mainly for public transport because its very durable couple with the fact that majority of our roads are in a sorry state.

5. Resale Value - Again Toyota wins. Toyota vehicles in this part of the world has a higher resale value probably because of it durability. I bought my first Toyota Nigeria car, used it for 9 years and sold it almost the price i bought it 9 years ago without stress because i had many people wanting to buy it. The same cannot be said of most Honda cars. People value Toyota cars more than Honda cars if you want to resale and also its easier to sell off your Toyota car.

6. Cost of Spare Parts - Toyota marginally wins. The cost of Toyota parts is marginally cheaper than Honda parts for most model of vehicles. Both are very available in the market but you are more likely to spend more to buy Honda part than Toyota parts for similar model and year of cars.

Conclusion - Both Toyota and Honda cars are good each with it pros and cons with respect to a particular model and year. For example, Toyota RAV4 2000-2003 are prone to ECU issues while Honda CRV, a competing model does not have such issues. The question is what is your priority in a car? secondly where do you intend to mostly use the car? If you want to mostly use the car to travel especially interstate in Nigeria then stay away from Honda. If you value beautiful interior design with state of the arts controls then stay away from Toyota cars.

My humble submission.

Sometimes they mix original and sub-standard parts. If the man is truthful, he will sell original parts to you. Where do you stay.

I have used both cars . My first car was Honda , I drive Toyota now , in terms of interior Honda is better , but on engine/ performance I will give it to Toyota anyday anytime ..

Toyota is not on same level with Honda when it comes to Performance and Handling. Let's leave it at that. I don't have much time now to explain. Later.

With Nigerian roads in mind, it is difficult to say. I don't think any car manufacturer has the deplorable Nigerian roads in mind. I believe it depends on the location. A driver that lives in Maitama and works in Wuse 2 may drive a Toyota or Honda car until the wheels fall off- no pun intended. Drive both cars from Aba-PH once a week for 3 months, it will boil down to the driver's ability to offroad and dodge potholes at the same time. Yes! That's a puzzle.

Nice thread. Who dey sell popcorn abeg?

If you have not used both brand then your comment is baseless. I have used Honda for 5years and currently using Toyotas.
TOYOTA is better than HONDA in everything.

Hmmmm

Honda cars have fantastic structures and sweet interiors but Toyota cars are more reliable and durable..."Based on personal experience though"
